Saul Anuzis appears
on Off The Record - WKAR, March 25 (appearance starts about half way
through show)
Newly elected state G.O.P. chair
Saul Anuzis
began his career with the state G.O.P. in 1980 as the youngest delegate to the
National Convention in Detroit. He's held a variety of posts over the years and was chief of staff to the
former Senate majority leader Dick Posthumus. Anuzis left politics in 1990 and
entered the private sector in the communication field. He returned to the party
last February when he was elected chair to replace Betsy DeVos.
Teen Newly elected Teenage Republican chair Lessenberry: Recently I was talking to a high-ranking official of one of Michigan's best universities. She told me she had never imagined she could vote for a Republican for governor, given the far-right nature of that party today. GOP After decades of neglect, the Republican Party has made an abrupt about-face with the most aggressive campaign in recent memory to woo African-Americans back to the party of Lincoln. A We admit we are mystified by a part of the proposal to demolish Governor Granhom ignores Northern Michigan and Upper Peninsula It was most obvious when she opted not to participate in a Fisher's son-in-law drops out of race Peter Cummings, a Republican favorite and son-in-law of the PLAN AHEAD Dropouts Weeks: "But I stick by my earlier prediction: Michigan Among the 50 states, Michigan ranks dead last in new jobs last year (losing 45,000), and near the bottom in income growth. So it's no surprise that Ms. Granholm is seeking a new formula for growth and prosperity. But the Democratic Governor is touting a new taxing scheme for Michigan that looks a lot like the industrial policy model of Old Europe, where economically omniscient governments try to pick business winners and losers -- and usually make a mess of it.

Nevertheless, this woman, who has spent her entire life in higher education, is more than half-ready to commit to voting for a Republican - any Republican - against Gov. Jennifer Granholm. Why? "She doesn't get it, doesn't keep her word and is not a leader," she complained.

Michigan
Republican Party Chairman Saulius "Saul" Anuzis questioned if Governor
Jennifer Granholm plans to do anything to curb the continual loss of jobs
afflicting Michigan's families.
"It's a sad day for Michigan," said Anuzis. "We all want to see
Michigan be the beacon of opportunity it was just a few short years ago, but
Jennifer Granholm's job recession has put an end to that. Her inaction comes at
the cost of Michigan's hard-working men and women."
Jennifer Granholm today, with the Department of Labor and Economic Growth,
announced that Michigan's unemployment rate has risen to 7.5%, the highest rate
since 1992. Further, 22,000 more Michiganians lost their jobs, bringing the
total number of unemployed in Michigan to over 400,000. Granholm's failure to
grasp the enormity of the problem was on display as she proclaimed, "It's a
mixed bag on jobless numbers."
"A mixed bag?" continued Anuzis. "It's a garbage bag, and it's
time the Governor recognizes that. Michigan needs a leader, but unfortunately we
have Jennifer Granholm."
the sad, sad joke is on all of us in Michigan
Michigan's unemployment rate is dropping.
April Fools.
No, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics says Michigan now is the undisputed national leader in joblessness. We're the market leader (in something, at least), which should enhance our play for new investment because we have so many extra workers.
In most cases, public talk and nostalgic hand-wringing focuses on what was. Or what should be. Or how changing the status quo isn't fair even if doing so only acknowledges the reality of what is.
What is it about the phrase "Michigan in crisis" that entrenched interests, the willfully ignorant and the eternally optimistic still don't get?
How is it that a governor with two degrees, including one from august Harvard, still thinks that shifting business taxes from manufacturers to service companies, increasing taxes on Detroit casinos and raising license fees, to name just a few examples, stimulates the economy?
It doesn't.
The national economy is booming, yet the state is not creating jobs. Michigan's personal income growth is stagnant. Many public bureaucracies - the state, counties, cities and schools -- are badly misaligned with the revenue they receive.
Forget "what should be." Focus on "what is."
